President Barack Obama proposed raising the federal minimum wage to $9 and indexing it to inflation in his State of the Union address Tuesday night. For residents of one state — Washington — that wouldn’t result in much of a change, since their minimum wage is already $9.19.

“Tonight, let’s declare that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty, and raise the federal minimum wage to $9.00 an hour,” Obama said. “This single step would raise the incomes of millions of working families. It could mean the difference between groceries or the food bank; rent or eviction; scraping by or finally getting ahead.”
